The Florist Aims to Revive Classic Survival Horror on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Nintendo Switch 2 fans eager for new survival horror experiences have something to anticipate in 2026: The Florist, an upcoming title from developer Unclear Games.

With Capcom showing little inclination to bring its classic Resident Evil PS1-era trilogy—and lesser-known entries like Code: Veronica or Outbreak—to the Nintendo Switch or the rumored Switch 2, The Florist is poised to fill a notable gap for survival horror enthusiasts.

Scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam, The Florist pays deliberate homage to genre-defining titles, delivering fixed camera angles and a chilling aesthetic reminiscent of the early Resident Evil games. Unclear Games has clarified several design decisions aimed at recapturing the tension and visual style of late '90s horror games.

In the game's Steam description, the developers highlight features such as puzzles that challenge players’ perception and deduction, a world that evolves with player actions, and high-impact weaponry for defense against hostile threats.

However, in a significant departure from tradition, The Florist will feature an unlimited inventory system, enabling players to "pick up anything and everything." This design choice contrasts sharply with the limited inventory mechanics long associated with the Resident Evil franchise, a hallmark that has defined resource management in survival horror for decades.

While this shift may alter the established formula, Unclear Games appears committed to respecting the core atmosphere and mechanics that fans expect, with contrastingly bold visuals inspired in part by entries like Konami’s Silent Hill f. Key features of The Florist include: - Classic fixed camera angles to enhance tension and showcase distinctive artwork - Intricate puzzles designed to test creativity and deduction - Dynamic world progression based on player choices - A diverse arsenal of weapons for fighting off threats - Unlimited inventory system allowing complete item collection The release of The Florist in 2026 is well-timed for fans of the survival horror genre.

On 27th February 2026, Capcom is set to expand the Resident Evil library on the Nintendo Switch 2, with Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil Village all launching for the platform.

These releases demonstrate ongoing support for the franchise on Nintendo hardware, offering Switch 2 players both classic and modern Resident Evil experiences. Meanwhile, development community chatter has circulated regarding a potential Resident Evil 0 remake, though Capcom has not made any official announcements.

A brief résumé listing for a lead voice role in 'Project Chamber'—rumored to be the working title for the remake—was spotted, but has since been removed as speculation continues. As the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to shape its library ahead of launch, The Florist stands out as a promising addition for survival horror fans, embracing the legacy of classic Resident Evil while introducing bold new design elements that could redefine the genre’s conventions.
